After his mini panic attack, uncle Lumian carried Eru all the way through the small path.
Erudite silently laid on his back. He couldn't help but think about the illusion. There was information from the book he read about illusion creating demons in the dark forests. So it was a shock when it happened. Later, her uncle explained everything. It was actually not a demon that caused that illusion, rather it was the fog.
It had some kind of residual enchantment to it. In ancient times, this dark forest used to be a war ground for giants. It was literally a burial ground for giant serpents and beasts. Later on the world trees grew on those rotting corpses forming this huge forest that was impenetrable.
"Kid, you awake?"
Eru placed his head on his back, nodded.
Lumian gazed back at him and smirked. "Cuz I'm going to need you to walk again," he gently placed him down and stretched his back. "Wow, kid, you weigh nothing," he whispered.
